Track Description
This screen describes the Star System and planet you are racing on, the length of the race circuit, and current weather conditions. The number of races in each Star System of the Galactic Conglomerate of Unified Planets varies depending on the Game Difficulty Level that you have chosen to race in.
Parts and Body Shop
This is where you can purchase upgrade equipment for your vehicle with your prize money.
Starting at the outer fringes of the Galactic Conglomerate, you begin racing in the technologically least developed planets of the system, otherwise known as the "Boonies". Initially, there won't be as many equipment upgrades available while you race in this sector of the Conglomerate. As you race further into the heart of the Galactic Conglomerate of Unified Planets, you will encounter more technologically advanced planets. These worlds offer state of the art weapons and vehicle enhancements as they are developed.
These radical new developments in technology will revolutionize your racing capabilities, but the exorbitant black market prices for these untested devices will almost bankrupt you. VS Mode Player Options
Player 1 enters information on the upper left quadrant of the screen, Player 2 on the upper right quadrant, Player 3 on the lower left quadrant, and Player 4 on the lower right quadrant. All players can enter information on their screens at the same time. The Artificial Intelligence will enter information for the computer controlled vehicles.
